Joao Sucena Afonso attended the annual AVANT meeting which took place in Majorca, Spain. This allowed the project to provide updates and next steps plans.

AVANT aims at developing and testing the efficacy and sustainability of alternatives to antimicrobials for the management of pig enteritis, as this disease condition accounts for the majority of antimicrobials used in food animals. The alternatives under study include gut microbiome modulators, innovative medicines targeting the pathogen or the pig immune response, and feeding strategies for disease prevention.
